Egyptian Radio and Television Union, also known as ERTU, is a state-owned entity headquartered in Egypt. Established in 1945, this tier 1 media tech buyer functions as the public broadcaster of Egypt. Its primary product is broadcast television and radio. Formerly known as Egyptian State Broadcasting (ESU), ERTU is operated by the Egyptian government.
On September 15, 2026, Abdulla bin Mohammed bin Butti Al Hamed, Chairman of the National Media Authority (NMA), honored winners of the inaugural "First Edition" program at the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair. Previously, on September 12, the NMA participated in the fair as part of its role in regulating the media sector and stimulating publishing. On September 7, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA), in partnership with the NMA, held a UAE Media Briefing, outlining the UAE’s preparations to host the 2026 UN Water Conference from December 8-10, in partnership with Senegal. These activities followed Egypt's move on September 1 to settle EGP 88.3 billion ($1.7 billion) in historic debt owed by the National Media Authority (NMA), the successor to the Egyptian Radio and Television Union (ERTU), a directive from President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi. The NMA board welcomed this as a significant step towards resolving long-standing financial challenges and improving the state media sector's financial sustainability. This debt settlement came after the Egyptian Cabinet, on August 30, distanced itself from a proposal to write off domestic public debt through state asset transfers, despite financier Hassan Heikal noting the government's recent use of this exact mechanism for a state media debt settlement.
